Hi, I have a small business with a Toshiba DK 40i ... in my old office I had the phones wired directly to the DK40i .. I now have cat5e structured cabling in the new office ... do I just use a LAU to enable the Toshiba phones to plug into the RJ45. Also is it 4 and 3 I connect to the dk40i from the patch panel ... sorry if the terminology is incorrect!!
Usually, on a PABX you will need 6 connections per phone. You should check with Toshiba as to which LAU you require. Usually you will require PABX master but sometimes the PABX require secondary LAUs.

From the BT master socket your will need our BT to RJ45 adapter AA1824. From this you use a RJ45 to RJ45 network cable to plug the phone connection into your network. At the other end of the dedicated link you use a full master AA1193 termination. In to this you connect you phone equipment. Ensure that no other network equipment is connected to this link.

I need to connect a cable modem into my router. However the only output from my modem is an RJ45, but the only input into the router is from a phone cable.
Two options:
A) Buy a new router for use with the modem
B) Plug the modem into one of the network ports on the router. One or the RJ45 you usually connect your PC into.
NOTE. This might require reconfiguration of your network settings. Especially any firewall settings.

I need to connect my sky box to my phone line through our network. The network goes straight back into our phone line which is shared with our phones. I assume its the normal full master one I use?

It it compatible with ISDN phones?
